Mindfulness is Changing Law Enforcement

Mindfulness (paying attention to what is happening, here, now, with curiosity and openness towards thoughts and feelings) has helped me be aware of how my mind and emotions  function in many situations. 

Mindfulness has brought me face to face with my own unconscious racial bias. For instance, I noticed a barely perceptible tightening when I saw a black person in a mostly white neighborhood; Similarly, when I hired a black contractor to do work for me and he didn’t follow through, my immediate thoughts made it about race.
